The Boise French Film Festival is a brand-new event in the rapidly growing city of Boise, ID. As the city expands, so does the appreciation for French and Francophone culture, with an increasing desire to expose the Boise community to the art of French and Francophone cinema. This festival aims to showcase the beauty of French film and provide a platform for French filmmakers to present their work in various lengths and formats. We welcome and encourage submissions of short films, feature-length films, animations, documentaries, and more. We look forward to seeing your submissions!
